A million questions bombard my mind, like waves crashing against the shores of my thoughts,
A gazillion words cascade endlessly, like an unstoppable flood, each droplet in the vast ocean of expressions,
My heart, like a pitiful levee straining to hold,

They urged me to let my thoughts flow freely,
Yet my words are drowned in the sea of unspoken fear,

Why? They questioned
For spilling my thoughts would alter nothing,
Leaving the world untouched by the silent echoes of my lost words,
Like a shipwreck left unexplored in the deep sea,

Can I change it?
As a lone wave, I cannot alter the vast ocean’s tides that have surged for centuries.
But together, can we not stir the depths and create a new current of change?
